CENJOWS organised a comprehensive guest lecture by Dr Haseeb Cheerathadayan, presenting on the multifaceted aspects of nuclear technology, its dual-use nature, and the associated security challenges, particularly from an Indian strategic perspective. Key topics included the evolution of nuclear technology from weapons to peaceful applications, the complexities of dual-use technologies, and the strategic environment India faces with neighbouring nuclear powers China and Pakistan.
Dr Hasib highlighted the modern proliferation risks involving technology and knowledge transfer beyond physical nuclear materials, emphasising the threat of radiological dispersive devices. He details the logistical and security challenges in the nuclear medicine supply chain, including the transport of short-lived radioisotopes, and underscores the critical role of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity in enhancing nuclear security while maintaining human oversight.

#CENJOWS_TURNS_19
19 Years of CENJOWS: From an Idea to an incredible Institution.
On 27 August 2007, the Centre for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS) was raised under the Ministry of Defence with a mandate: to rise above sectoral thinking and build the case for jointness across India's Armed Forces.
Nineteen years later, that mandate has become a movement.
Along the way, Centre for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS) has built a platform for strategic thought that has been effective in bringing together serving officers, veterans, scholars, and policymakers to debate the ideas that shape India's defence future. Through research, dialogue, collaboration and a vision of driving jointness, inspiring transformation, and building synergy for a stronger nation, we have stayed true to one belief that "Jointness isn't a slogan but a foundation of a stronger and more capable Nation"
To mark this milestone each year, Centre for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS) instituted the Annual Trident Lecture Series in 2025 as a way of turning our Foundation Day into a living conversation rather than just one more date on the calendar.
This year, the 2nd Annual Trident Lecture continues that tradition on 1 September 2026, taking up the theme "National Resurgence through the Lens of Defence Forces."
Nineteen years of jointness. One continuing conversation.
Here's to Centre for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS) turning 19🎖️
Note: Participation by Confirmed Invitation only.

#CENJOWS_GuestLecture
CENJOWS organised an insightful guest lecture by Dr Geeta Kochhar on "External Influence in Nepal: Security Challenge for India," offering a deeply nuanced perspective on the shifting geopolitical dynamics in South Asia. The session examined Nepal's evolution from a traditional "buffer state" into a heavily contested strategic arena, analyzing how legacy frameworks such as the Curzonian security mindset continue to shape India's regional posture. Dr Kochhar highlighted why viewing Nepal strictly through a binary "India vs China" framework oversimplifies ground realities, particularly amidst growing external interference and socio-political disruptions following post-Gen Z youth movements.
The talk emphasized the urgency for India to move beyond static strategic paradigms and adopt a multi-dimensional approach to calibrate its neighbourhood policy. By evaluating Nepal's evolving matrix through four essential strategic lenses, the discourse underscored actionable insights for safeguarding regional stability, managing open borders, and reinforcing India’s long-term security interests in an increasingly multipolar neighborhood.
